British Troops Cross Struma in Attack on Bulgarians
British reports say troops crossed the Struma River about forty miles northeast of Balonit to advance toward the Bulgarian border. They attacked Nevolyen and Karabjabes after artillery prep, while Bulgarians shifted from the border into Greek territory on the right flank of allied forces near Saloniki. The push aims to place Bulgaria between two fires along the main road to Seres near Tastino Lake. Meanwhile German resistance on the Somme persists with limited gains for the Entente, and Russian forces are reportedly redeployed from the French front. Belgian aviators drop proclamations over Drugeels and Antwerp as the war widens.
